Is a Toyota Supra a stick?
Not in the current lineup: the modern GR Supra is automatic-only. Historically, some older Supras offered manual transmissions, most notably the Mk4 (A80) with a six-speed manual, but today’s model does not.
Current generation: GR Supra — automatic-only by factory
The GR Supra, introduced in 2019 for the 2020 model year, is built on a joint platform with BMW and uses an eight‑speed automatic transmission with paddle-shift mode. There is no factory manual (stick) option available in any market as of 2025. Drivers seeking a manual experience won’t find a new GR Supra with a clutch pedal from the factory.
Historical note: Manual transmissions in earlier Supras
Earlier generations of the Supra did offer manual transmissions. The most famous example is the Mk4 Supra (A80, produced roughly 1993–2002), which offered a six-speed manual and is highly prized by enthusiasts. An automatic was also offered on some trims and markets. Earlier generations (Mk2 and Mk3) typically included manual options as well, reinforcing the model’s sport-focused appeal in manual form.
What this means for buyers today
If you want a factory-new Supra with a manual, you won’t find one. For a manual experience, you would need to explore a late-1990s Mk4 or another older generation in the used market. Some enthusiasts consider aftermarket modifications to add a manual feel to the GR platform, but these are not factory-supported and can impact reliability and resale value.
Bottom line
The Supra line has a history of manual transmissions, but the contemporary GR Supra is not offered with a manual at sale. The manual option remains associated with older generations, particularly the Mk4, while today’s car emphasizes the efficiency and quick shifts of an eight-speed automatic.
Summary
In essence, the Toyota Supra is not a stick in its current form. If a manual transmission is essential, you would need to look to an older generation—most notably the Mk4 A80—or seek a used example, understanding that you would be stepping back in time from today’s GR Supra.
